Hi CR List and Dan Artley, In response to Dan's observations on Westminster Swap Meet "finds"- The unknown brand, undecaled Cambio Corsa equipped bicycle belonged to none other than "CURTIS" of VIA BICYCLES in the "City of Brotherly Love"-Philadelphia,PA. Curtis also had a "show find" which was a first for me- an "IDEALE 92 Diagonale" which can be seen on the CR website go to: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/France/Ideale_ main.htm I never knew there was such a saddle as an Ideale 92.....until seeing the one at the swap. A Google search brought me back to "CLASSICRENDEZVOUS" French section with color photo's of the Ideale saddle line up - what a great resource!!!

I forgot the owner's name, another list member I think. I'm terrible with names, but he demonstrated the shifting for it. Really cool! I am glad that shifting is easier than that now. I'm still almost completely friction with my bikes, but it still beats all the back pedaling and stuff. ... Boy I'd like to own one of them too!
